We are really excited about thisnew movement!!! This seems to show there maybe some new brain stem recovery!! I'm looking forward to us talking to the doctors tomorrow about it. We want to ask again to have her re-evaluated for rehab. We were told she wouldn't benefit from it since she had such little responses. Maybe now they will reconsider, she has done more since when she was evaluated.
We had a great day, Jon preached at Williamston Christian community church where some of our "snowbirds" go in the summer. Ch 13 (the ABC station) videotaped his whole sermon! A small clip was shown on Ch 13 tonight. They picked out some great parts where Jon stressed the faithfulness of God. You never know who is watching and what is going on in their lives. If nothing else, maybe it can encourage someone to hang on to God during their trials!
Then we went out with a group of friends to Burnap's Farm Market and ate outside...beautiful but cold (to us) day! Then later we met some of our old friends who we worked with in NYC years ago and went out to supper together. What a great day and the best part was seeing more response from Selah! Please pray it continues!
She had the cutest, sweetest nurse who painted her toe nails with pink sparkly paint! How cute and thoughtful:) It just made me smile that she did that for Selah!!! You could just tell the nurse loves her job and cares about her! I know I say this all the time but I am so impressed with Strong's Hospital. We are so thankful for the GREAT care she has received here. She seems to be recovering form her dental surgery, although her mouth seemed a bit bloody tonight. There was concern that she might have "pink eye" and she has been put on eye drops to make sure if she does, it's not contagious once she was on antibiotics for 24 hours. We got a bit freaked out because of Sam's eyes!!!! We've been scrubbing out hands!
So please keep praying!!!!! Thank you!
That's great news, Yvonne! How fun about the toe nails too! :-) Praying for you all!
ReplyDeletePraise God for the little improvement!!!! continued prayers!!
ReplyDeleteI am praying mightily, and am so excited about your good news! There is still SO much that we don't know about how brains work. I've been glad that you have been so adamant about pushing forward with her care, and anticipating the best, not the worst. I'm praying a lot tonight for wisdome for the treatment team...and prayers for the special nurse with the sparkly polish. ♥♥ Love and prayers to all of you...God bless!
ReplyDeleteI am ELATED to hear this new update!! Go Selah Go! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat harm would there be for her to be in rehab? I can't understand why doctors wouldn't want to do everything that could benefit her--even if it "doesn't'.
Aww what a sweet nurse! It's little things that can make a big difference (Hey I'm not a pro but I'd be happy to give all you girls a pretty mani/pedi!)
Hope the pink eye issue is resolved quickly for everyone's sake!
Your words have definitely been a balm to me lately, I am truly grateful. I am sure your husband reached a lot of people!!
Stay warm *HUGS* xoxo
Oh Yvonne! We are praying, praying and praying some more for your sweet Selah to come back to you! Praising God for this little sign of improvement! Praying for many more in the days to come. We are praying that Selah will astound the doctors, and cause them to KNOW that this is truly a miracle! :)
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
Alycia
So happy to hear the good news about Selah's eye response to waiving your hand! Continuing in prayer!!!!! Love the pink, sparkly toes. :-)
ReplyDeleteYvonne, we did even more than including her and all of you in our family prayers. . . we asked my Mom to pray for her now that she is much closer to God since her passage to Eternity on 09/01/12. Actually, about only a week before going into a comma, when her health was rapidly declining, breathing was increasingly difficult, the thirst was unbearable, and the pain was excruciating, still my Mom prayed for Selah, Nikita, Cheyenne, and Chloe as all of them were fighting for their lives. My Mom then said that her time to be called was getting closer, but those children had all their lives ahead of them. The very next day after her passing I was at WalMart, crying while trying to do some shopping--and I did what I have been doing all my life: I asked my Mom for help: help for us because of our terrible grief, and also help for Selah. It is so very encouraging to see that she is starting to respond!!! Count on our continued prayers--and most importantly, on my Mom's prayers from above.
ReplyDeleteYou made the right decision to stay in NY if medical care is better there. God bless all of you. Post any other positive signs that may follow that one! Lillian /Lillian Godone-Maresca
What an honor that your mom prayed for our little girl as one of her last acts on this earth! WOW! Thank you so much for sharing that with us!!!!!
DeleteI'm so glad to hear good news!!! Yay! We are still praying!
